Castleette "Cassie" Na Leiolani Ale qualified to become a VFW Auxiliary member under her dad, Paea Castle Wilhelm, Sr., who served in the Army in Korea.  She is an Auxiliary Life Member of the Wilbert Wah Hu Tom Post 3850 in Kihei, Maui, Hawaii. Her son, Arona Castle Ikaika Ale, also served in the Army in Iraq.

 

Cassie has served in many elected and appointed offices in the Auxiliary and Department since 2005. Dept. President (twice), National District Council Member No. 16,  Auxiliary President (5 years) to name a few.  Cassie has a daughter and three sons. Five beautiful grandchildren and her "SWEET” fur baby, Nalu Boy. Cassie has been a School Health Assistant for the Dept of Education since 1992 to the present.

We all should love, cherish and respect our veterans, past and present. They chose to serve their country. For you and me. Many have died while serving and if they survived, many were inflicted, suffered and died from wounds, diseases, PTSD and afflictions while serving. Why do they feel that we have shunned, deserted, mistreated and forgotten them?

Shame on us! The Spirit of Aloha is to love unconditionally, with your heart and soul, 24hrs a day.  "NEVER FORGET THEM!!!”
